I am (have been) looking for a completely clear lockscreen. I want the widgets to update in the background, instead of just showing the wallpaper.. Any ideas?

There's already apps that basically do what you're looking for i.e. widgetlocker as seen here: http://androinica.com/2010/07/16/wa...ckscreen-get-widget-locker-video-app-reviews/
Yeah, I used widget locker, not too big of a fan.. or clear lock from the market. Is there a way to remove the wallpaper that is on there and put a transparent one in its place? I've looked everywhere but no luck lol.

This was part of a theme in the g2/desirez thread.
Is there anything like this for the Epic4g.

+1 on this
The dual locks would be awesome.
Pretty sure I would **** bricks if we had a lockscreen like that. I use sms popup, but this would be awesome.

once the source is released for our phone we'll get a CM rom. then we'll have this.
I had it on my hero, it was pretty slick.
Widget Locker does this.

If we're talking about the lockscreen then, like alfiej said, widget locker can fill it up with sliders and widgets. I do have a question about that link tho. Does the gingerbread lockscreen actually have multiple sliders and/or can it be customized like that on stock? Or is the multiple sliders a change made in CM6.1?

I really don't like running apps in my background (especially lockscreens).
1. They dont work all the time.
2. They take up too much memory.
I used widget locker and my phone died much faster than without it. I had my phone unplugged yesterday for 15 hours before it got down to 80%. With it, it was down at like 60%. Sorry dude.
No need to apologize dude, I just was naming what does this. I bought widget locker a few weeks ago and got a refund within an hour so I feel your pain.

What's dope about this one is above the sliders you can draw gestures and it will automatically launch those apps
I actually really like our stock lock screen because it basically has these same features. I'd probably go for this one if it was available to us because I like the vanilla layout better.

it was in CM 6.1 for my old hero.
Had this phone for Two days now and LOVE it. Way better then evo 3d I had. Only issue I have is I struggle to unlock it every time. Maybe the size maybe the touchwiz screen. Either way it makes me crazy. Anyone make a suggestion of a different lock screen that is stable and won't mess up the excellent battery life.
Btw I have no interest in rooting but don't mind buying an app if needed. Also I have no issue with other parts of touchwiz just the lock screen.
I use widget locker. You can set that up any way you'd like. I have the stock aosp lock screen. Does wonders.

Widget locker allows you to customize the lockscreen with a ot of different options. So the AOSP lockscreen is when you slide the icon across to unlock you phone. It is Androids stock lock screen that ships with Android if Samsung or HTC wouldn't add their own.
Agile lock is pretty good too. It gives you a lockscreen similar to sense 3.0

I replaced my stock lock screen with widget locker and haven't experienced any problems (including battery life). It could be that people using widget locker are placing battery intensive widgets on their lockscreen.
Yeah I haven't had any problems with battery life or any slow downs either. This phone handles the battery and speed well. You can set it up however you like, the possibilities are endless. You can even download themes. I just like it so much because I don't have to use the original lock screen for our phone.

Thanks again! I downloaded and have been playing with widget locker and love it so far. Only question I have is ... Is there some way to get rid of the icon in the notification bar that shows widget locker ongoing. I keep thinking there is something I have not checked and it kinda bothers me. Tried to find a setting to get rid if it but no luck. Thanks again

Can this be done? Is it on in ROMS other than stock? Why would it ever be disabled anyway.
Use apex or Nova launchers. No idea why anyone would stick with the touch wiz launcher
There is a mod in theme/mod section, but it may not work with ota.

Worked!!! It's called "Ultimate rotation control"
I like the Nova launcher too...it's very fast. But I somehow lost the Accuweather time widget when I went to Nova. I tried to get it form the market but it doesn't look the same. Wife's phone so I can't justify changing the appearance that much for rotations sake. Otherwise, if I could have put the same exact Accuweather widget back on, I think I would have left Nova on.
Edit: Spoke to soon. Ultimate is only free for 7 days.
2nd Edit: Found another one called "Rotation locker"
I like Holo Launcher HD. No lag, customizable, more options (like auto rotate) plus you can still use the Note 2 touchwiz widgets if you want.

I tried the Holo launcher and still couldn't find that stupid accuweather widget. Sigh.
I ended up going with Novo launcher and finding a different weather widget from the Playstore.

That's what I did. I changed over to Nova Launcher and also Fancy Widgets to use a weather clock/widget.
I did like the Weather clock on Touchwiz but what bothered me was , having used HTC Sense for quite a while, I am used to touching the time and going to the alarm, but with Touch Wiz, no matter where I touched, I'd goto weather.
I used Apex launcher on stock. It helped until I got a phone call in my car with the phone docked. The Phone app doesn't want to rotate! :/
If you're rooted....check out the MOD TW 360 rotation
I'm running rooted deoxed TW with multi view and the MOD worked fine.

I have another widget I found which is very very nice. I don't think it let's you go to alarm by touching the time though.

Fancy Widgets let you set what program got called depending on what you pressed but I couldn't find a widget that I was happy with.
I ended up using HD Widgets and and used one of their weather clocks. While it doesn't let you specify the programs for where you touch, it has a very nice weather page built in(even allows you to select int weather ino provider) that works when you touch any of the weather and goes to the alarm when you touch the time.
So I'm using Nova Launcher, HD Widgets and also Android Pro Widgets for things like a Timeline widget(I was using APW on Touchwiz too).

Nice. I will take a look.
Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the shortcut for the default S3 weather widget? Instead of it directing you to Accuweather, I would prefer that it opens up Weatherbug.
Why don't you just place the weather bug widget on your screen instead of the stock one?

Thanks ... I would use the weather bug widget, but it doesn't have the clock built in. I also considered using Fancy Widgets which is similar to the HTC interface ... I just liked the way the stock one looked and was hoping there was a way.

Yeah would be nice also if you touched the clock it would take you to your alarm or other alarm app and when you touch the weather it would open whatever weather app you wanted. One thing i miss about HTC is there widgets nothing else compared IMO
Hd Widgets isn't like the stock clock widget but it's highly customizable and 2 set ups look like the sense clocks. From the original evo is one and the other is from the new Evo 4G lte
Also weather services include accuweather, weather bug, and weather underground. I've made posts about changing the provider on the stock clocks and usually don't get a reply saying someone knows how so I just use a 3rd party one
thanks look good keep up great work
Thanks for the follow up ... I am going to check out HD Widgets ... it looks similar to the version included on the EVO
I use it and love it. You will not be disappointed.
I am using it now and agree ... very very cool!!
Hi there is a way to have a lockscreen with live wallpapers. Its very easy just rename the LockScreen3.apk to LockScreen3.apk.bak, or just freeze it in titanium backup. I tough I share it if anyone interested. Again have a nandroid backup just in case.
When you first set it it is going to be see-through. The see-through part will go away after restart.
